They did not make it obvious that this product has a free and pro version to it with some features locked behind a paywall, which would be fine if that was made clear from the beginning. There website does not mention anything about a pro product and I checked everywhere. Also, you have to sign up with an account before you can even attempt to use the basic features of the product, not giving you an opportunity to evaluate the product before creating an account to see if you want to commit to it. All in all, I downloaded Octab bc of the features look cool. But I deleted it because of the deceptive advertising practices.
It wants me to sign in to Google then just crashes. I can't use it.
I absolutely do not understand how this extension works and what's the philosophy behind it. What's the correlation between my actual tab in my browser and the octab tab as we can't drag n drop browser's tab inside an Octab folder? When we put a tab in an Octab folder, it still still sits in the browser like nothing happened and it also still sits inside the "Unorganized list" of Octab even though I organized it in a folder. If I decide to use only Octab folders and start browsing but I don't save the current page in my folder, it's just not inside any folder. So it has to be saved in a folder everytime from what I understand. Then there is left side panel, and a right side panel. I like the right one but when I click on a folder, then a tab that right side panel just closes immediately. Why? The left panel is ok but it takes more real estate space due to all the hovering icons. As I'm using vertical tabs already it just becomes tricky. Clicking the octab icon extension doesn't do anything. I have to right click, octab, open side panel... In the dashboard, we can custom our folders position etc which is great, but when we click on a folder we get a pop with icons only and it becomes quickly messy to quickly find a tab as we have to hover an icon to see the website... I didn't try the rest after an hour I just gave up. Sorry for the bad review. I miss Simple Tab Groups from Firefox.
Bad: - cannot search by folder name - sidebar in edge not opening folder contents. have to do it from full window menu.
